SOUTH ST. LOUIS (KMOV.com) -

Workers paved around a car on Shaw Avenue near the Kingshighway Bridge while completing the nearly 2-year project over the weekend.

Crews were paving when they encountered a blue Kia hatchback. The city told News 4 decided not to tow the car. When asked if there were any signs posted prohibiting parking, officials could not say for certain.

The car’s owner told News 4 she went to a bar with her friends and parked her car in that spot because there were no signs indicating parking there was illegal.

Businesses near where the car was parked also say no such sign was up.

‘No Parking’ signs have since been put up near the car and the city said the spot where the car was parked will be paved on Tuesday.

Scott Heatherly, 50, of Arnold, is charged with second-degree assault and first and second-degree property damage. Arnold Police say the charges stem from an assault which appears to have been brought on by road rage Friday night and was caught on surveillance camera.
